: Our 6 year old parakeet is losing feathers on his head.
: He now has a bald spot right above his beak about the size of a pea and it gets a little bigger each day.
: His male friend (same age) died about a month ago of some type of internal illness (no baldness). Do you know what's causing this parakeet to lose its head feathers? I haven't noticed any scratching.

Make sure that the bird is getting a complete diet. If the seed isn't vitamin enriched, then provide vitamins in the water. Each day, give a small amount of fruit, vegetable, and a protein-source. A small amount of chicken egg cooked as for human consumption mixed with whole wheat bread is very good.

To control mites and lice, each week mist the bird and the area around the cage with an avian insecticide that contains .05% pyrethrin as the active ingredient.
